Final Thoughts(About to buy an Asus GTX 780 DC2OC)?

[tommyd777]

Title explains what I'm asking. I am just wondering if anyone has any final input/thoughts before I pull the trigger on an Asus GTX 780 DC2OC?

I've read through countless reviews on the Asus, as well as the other popular non-reference cooler cards, and it seems to be that the Asus is by far the best. With that said, I was hoping to get some final feedback before buying.

Thank you in advance for any responses.

Its is not the best GTX 780 that's for sure as there are 3 others that are much better but its still a great card. I wouldn't have second thoughts about it

Not the best GTX 780 in what regards?

I understand that it is not fastest out of the box, but it has the highest stable OC, while also supporting some of the quietest fan noises(top 3). It also has by far the lowest temperatures under stock speeds, both idle/load, and OC, while idle and under full load, out of any of the top GTX 780s across multiple reviews from different websites.

It also does not have the highest stable OC. The Classified is one of the best Overclocking 780s out. Almost 99% of them can hit 1270+ stable on core on Air with minimum volt adjust. I'm not saying the DCII is a bad card not at all as its a great card just saying its not the best.

Oh ok, great. That's the type of info I was looking for. I was trying to read up on the Classified but I don't think I ever finished reading up on it.

Does it have a custom PCB like the DC2OC? I thought that was one of the major bonuses of the GTX 780?

EDIT: Nvm, it does have a custom PCB. I'm reading a review right now.

Yes EVGA GTX 780 Classified use a custom PCB which utilizes a 14+3 power phase which in turn allows it to overclock greatly
